Wonderful Vacation
"Very clean and very cute place to stay that will definitely meet all your needs for a wonderful vacation. It's a very short walk to the beach and the pool area is awesome. We absolutely loved our stay here at Gone Coastal and we are excited and looking forward to when we can do it again."

A Lovely Home
"What a lovely home! Such attention to detail and all the amenities you could ask for! And the location was perfect for us—a short stroll to the beach and close to restaurants and shopping.
Highlights:
The pool!
Sunsets at the beach
Renting a golf cart from “Beach Bums” for the week. Great way to get around the island
The Doctor’s Office for specialty cocktails. So good!
Kayaking at Ft. DeSoto State Park—only an hour trip North—saw manatees and other wildlife
Seeing a school of sea skates (or rays?) at the Anna Maria Pier
Shopping on Pine Avenue
Perfect weather all week long!
Looking forward to returning to the area again!"

Daydreaming About Our Return
"Our family had such a wonderful, socially distanced stay here. We even weathered Ela. We fell in love with AMI last year and the magic continued. We are daydreaming about our return.
Thanks for the lovely home."

Great first time on AMI
"From the moment we entered Gone Coastal we felt like we were home.
It was our first-time on AMI and our first home rental. It couldn’t have been a better experience.
Julie is a wonderful host and the house is perfectly set up with everything we needed.
We had a great time and will be back.
Be well and thank you"

Amazing place!
"If you have never visited Anna Maria Island it is a must!! It is so quaint, 4 gorgeous white sand beaches, and amazing seafood restaurants all within a 7 mile radius. If you ever decide to go you must stay at one of Justin Wilcox, Paul Rejman, and Rosemary Fuoco home @ Gone Coastal!!! To say they are stunning and immaculate is an understatement!! They were beyond accommodating and a pleasure to work with!! Their homes each have there own pools as well as everything, and more, that you would in the home!! Thank you so much again guys!"

Wonderful place
"First and foremost, we loved finally meeting you, as well as a great dinner with your company.
We had the most amazing, relaxing vacation! The house and pool are beautiful. We will definitely be returning next year!"

Great Vacation
"We had a great time and this home has every gadget imaginable in the kitchen. The pool was also beautiful and it is a close walk to the beach. There were plenty of towels and beach towels and the place was very clean. We would recommend this place and it is pet friendly!"

This is an amazing house!
"Thank you so much for letting us use it! Our bedroom was awesome, the pool was great, and we had a short walk to the beach, which was great and came in handy when we didn’t rent a golf cart. I would honestly rate this house 5 out of 5 stars for the great pool and nice beds! Thank again!"

LOVE this house
"Thank you for such a great stay! We are a short drive away, in Tampa but needed a quick change of scenery during this pandemic! Our little boys LOVE this house! The pool and yard games were so much fun! We enjoyed the short walk to the beach. Thank you for sharing your home. We hope to be back soon as the boys are already asking when we can come again!"

Highly recommended
"Thanks so much for being a wonderful host to us this Spring for the entire month of May. Gone Coastal and Gone Coastal 2 ere the absolute perfect locations for our two families to do work and school remotely while allowing us to enjoy all AMI has to offer. We created so many great memories from gym class in the large, well heated pools to a Memorial Day corn hole tournament. The location was absolutely perfect. We rode our bikes as far north as bean point all the way down to Skinny’s by Manatee Beach. The well stocked kitchen helped us to eat in most of our meals, and the patio was set up great for take out! We went to the beach daily for walks on the beach, to jump in the water, or to watch the amazing sunsets of AMI. We really appreciated you being pet friendly, and it was also a very friendly neighborhood, great for daily dog walks. Thanks again for allowing us to escape Covid for a month! I would not hesitate to highly recommend Gone Coastal and Gone Coastal 2!!!"

Awesome!
"Thank you so much for sharing your home with us, to allow us to extend our stay in Florida and not have to face both Covid 19 & Ohio weather was a life saver for us. Gone Coastal & Gone Coastal Too was the perfect fit for all of us. It allowed us our space but to hang together when we wanted to. Again, I can not express our gratitude and as a fellow AMI owner, your house is awesome! I will definitely recommend it to others!"

Can't wait to come back!
"We have had an amazing time here her. Gone Coastal is lovely, both inside and out. We have really appreciated all the little touches. It’s so cute, cozy, and comfortable. The kids loved the pool and the beach toys. The adults loved the comfy beds and couches, how well-equipped the kitchen is and just the lovely beachy décor. We can’t wait to come back!"

Home away from Home
"Have always loved the island, but we’ve now found our “home away from home” here.
Justin & Paul—you’ve left nothing out of making your guests feel welcomed at home. The amenities are spot-on. Just pack clothes and toiletries and be in paradise.
Thank you for opening your home to us. It’s BEAUTIFUL!
We’ll be back for sure.

Fantastic!!
"Our stay here at your beach house on Anna Marie Island was fantastic. Your home was beautiful. We loved having our own pool, and the beach was just close enough, and also the way that you make everything in your home so accessible, with supplying everything one could need is so nice. From beach towels to beach chairs and pool floats to laundry detergent and this cute journal. Your decorations are just right. Thank you for letting us stay here to enjoy our honeymoon!
Love the Savoy’s"

10 Stars out of 5
"For anyone looking for a 2 bedroom 2 bath rental, Gone Coastal is PERFECT. I just have to say that Justin Wilcox was a fabulous host. We just the island and we were beyond pleased with our stay. I give this home 10 stars out of 5. Super clean, perfect location and awesome amenities!"

Wonderful home in a great location!
"This is our 3rd year on AMI. I have to say that this rental has been everything that we hoped for and MORE! The house is very clean and centrally located on the island. We stayed a week and it just was not long enough! We loved that the home was fully stocked with everything that we needed and many things to do for fun. The pool, grill, ping pong table and cornhole games kept us occupied during our non beach hours. Justin and Paul have been outstanding host and have been just a text away for any questions that we have had providing great recommendations! We will definitely be back and we will definitely book here at Gone Coastal again! Thank you guys so much for providing us an amazing home away from home in paradise!
Chris, Darien, Brett and Preston."

Saying we had a great time is definitely an understatement.
"Saying we had a great time is definitely an understatement. Not only the weather was beautiful but this place felt like home and our kids did not want to leave. Neither did we! The pool rocks—the backyard is beyond beautiful and very private. The house looks amazing—you did a fabulous job guys! We will for sure be back most likely sometime this or early next year. We loved every minute being here!
Love you guys!

Great and comfortable stay in your lovely rental
"Great and comfortable stay in your lovely rental; so close to the beach. Appreciated the private pool and so enjoyed spending time there on the warm days of the week. The landscaping is just beautiful. Also appreciated the outdoor lighting which seemed as one beacon to house when returning late either by “foot” or car.
Thank you and hope to be back!

Love the décor!
"This is our 4th year vacationing on AMI and by far our best.
Thank you for all of the attention to details. We had an amazing Thanksgiving thanks to the weather and your kitchen. The crockpot was an amazing addition to our vacation!
We started every day at the beach and the remainder of the afternoon at the pool. Super relaxing evenings, catching up on shows in the house!
Thank you! We will be back again next year and try to recruit friends for the other half!
Love the décor!"

We so enjoyed our time!
"We so enjoyed our time! The home was wonderful, beautifully decorated and extras we weren’t expecting. We loved the private pool and appreciated that the home was a short walk to the beach. The home was very clean and had everything we needed to prepare our own meals. We will definitely plan to stay again. Tracy was great and was always quick to respond."

Cannot wait to visit again
"We had a fantastic week staying in your beautiful home! There was plenty of room for everyone and perfectly located for mornings on the beach and afternoons at the pool. It was so fun exploring the Island - kayaking, segway tours, shopping at the farmers market and fishing at the Beach Street Pier. Your restaurant recommendations were very helpful and we had several great meals there too! We cannot wait to visit again!
Thanks, Justin and Paul!"

We had family stay a couple days here and they loved it too! The weather was perfect this year too! This is the first time staying at this end of the island and we loved it the BEST! We brought our dog and he loved it too! Thank you for a perfect month! We are from Pittsburgh, PA and love being here when it was snowing at home. Love being snowbirds! Your home made it feel like our home too! Thanks again!"
